At last, here is the ultimate celebration of the nation's beloved sitcom from its legendary creator, John Cleese. Enjoy the behind-the-scenes magic, with stunning on-set photographs from the archives ... and a laugh a page! Duck surprise. The car that wouldn't start. The psychiatrists. Those builders... Fifty years ago Fawlty Towers hit British TV screens for the first time, becoming an instant classic. Now for the first time John Cleese tells his stories from behind the scenes of his favourite moments. From writing scripts that were so carefully planned they were double the length of similar shows', to casting, lighting, how the show was almost cancelled before it started, and other production shenanigans, these are your favourite moments from Fawlty Towers as you've never seen them before. Exploring the how and why of creating classic comedy, there is a laugh on every page, and a dose of nostalgia for vintage TV fans. With gorgeous commissioned illustration and archival imagery, the book revisits such iconic scenes as Basil thrashing his car, a rat appearing in a box of cheese biscuits, and Basil goose-stepping across the dining room to an audience of horrified guests.

Written by and starring Cleese and his then-wife Connie Booth, the first series of Fawlty Towers aired in 1975, with a second series broadcast in 1979. It featured Cleese as the irascible hotel manager Basil Fawlty, Prunella Scales as his sybaritic wife Sybil, Andrew Sachs as the hapless waiter Manuel, and Booth as Polly, an efficient waitress and art student. It won three BAFTAS and, despite having only 12 episodes in total, continues to be regularly voted the best sit-com in British history.

Good option 👌
Color: Silver
The Neretva Máquina de café expreso de 20 bares stands out for its compact and elegant stainless steel design, making it ideal for anyone who wants to prepare barista-style coffee at home. Its 20-bar pressure system delivers rich espresso with excellent aroma and crema, while the steam wand allows you to create smooth and consistent milk foam for lattes and cappuccinos. The LED display and practical size make it a modern, functional, and user-friendly option for everyday use.

Great little espresso machine for home
Color: Silver
I purchased this as a test case for home latte making. Considering the price, it is an excellent starter machine. The learning curve is not very dramatic and it is relatively easy to maintain. Unit is attractive and build quality is very good. Be sure to use filtered water. I have been using it regularly for months now and it has proved reliable. This has a very small footprint and would fit on most countertops. If you are looking for a starter espresso maker, this is a great option until you want to get really serious.

Pretty good machine!
Color: Silver
I’ve had the machine for about a month now and I like it! There is a learning curve but once you figure it out it’s pretty easy to use. For reference: I make a double latte every morning. I use 150 mLs of oat milk and froth/steam the milk for about 40-45 seconds. I refill the water tank weekly. Star deduction because the manual that comes with the machine isn’t great. The FAQ table is ambiguous and the entire manual is poorly written.

Great product and great value
Color: Beige
Was not sure I would be happy but took a chance and bought this Neretva machine. Love the small footprint and it looks so high end on the coffee bar. So I read the instructions as well as a bunch of reviews and then gave it a go for a cappuccino. Success on the very first try and it was restaurant quality taste! I am thrilled with this little machine! Full disclosure I used a separate electric frother pitcher rather than deal with the frothing wand. I prefer not using the steam wand until I am more comfortable with making espresso etc

Great little machine, competitor to Casabrew CM5418
Color: Beige
Compact little espresso machine with enough space under the portafilter for a more normal coffee mug, and a steam wand that doubles as a hot-water dispenser for tea or making Americano. Heats very quickly both for normal espresso and for generating steam. Surprisingly good results going by what I get out of it with a bottomless portafilter and a normal 2-dose basket. Other 51mm portafilters seem to get in with a fair amount of difficulty, you will want some leverage if you try to use a third party portafilter. A slightly nicer machine than the Casabrew CM5418. Additionally I paid about $78 for this machine through a Fat Kid Deals code, which in hindsight means this was a steal of a machine versus the $140 (minimum) Casabrew equivalent. Two thumbs up!
